Hi Sanjeev, well exposed on this fellow, as the blacks and browns have shown up nicely. It seems the focus point was on the back of the wing. I would try and selectively sharpen the head and neck area. Waiting for him to have walked a little higher to show the feet would have been first prize.

Interesting "perch". I like that you have some clouds in the sky to add a bit of interest. I really like the pose here, but I agree some more sharpening to the head would be good.

Nice pose, and I agree about some additional sharpening. The bird could be brightened up a bit for my taste. And I'm not crazy about the perch.
